Suggestion: Spoiler Code

I propose that the forums have some sort of spoiler code. For example, in the something awful forums, you can make text black and the highlight text black, so you can't see what it says until you move your mouse over it. It is mostly used when people are giving the answer out to endings, like HL2 ending, so people don't have to read it unless they scroll over the text. Of course we don't have game/movie spoilers here, but this would also go for all the fools who are adding 60 line breaks so you have to scroll down to see something like "you suck.". We could save the reader and writer more time by simply using spoiler tags, rather than dozens of line breaks!

Thats a pretty good idea

but it might get overused by people who write everything in it.

It's a good idea, but is it really going to save that much time?

Well, it will take 5 seconds to implement it, and it's useful. I don't see why you're giving it a cynical look.

If it would be that easy to put it in, why not?
